Why do international internships?
There are numerous benefits for internships abroad. You can:
- Equip yourself with new knowledge and skills
- Get field work experience in your chosen area
- Decide whether a specific career is really for you
- Build an international network by working with a diverse group of local professionals and interns
Another advantage of internships in foreign countries is that you’ll improve valuable skills like communication and planning.
If an internship isn’t quite what you're looking for, then take a look at these projects:
- Electives (for students of Medicine, Physiotherapy, Nursing, and more)
- Volunteer Overseas Projects (where you can work in areas like Conservation and Teaching)

How can I get an internship overseas?
Our overseas internships are open to people from all backgrounds who are at least 16 years old. They’re particularly valuable if you’re:
- About to join university
- A student interested in work shadowing placements
- Looking to gain work experience abroad as a graduate
You’ll gain practical work experience and skills that will help set you apart for future employers or university admission panels.
Requirements vary depending on the internship you choose, but for most projects, you can join without any specific qualifications or expertise. You'll work alongside experienced professionals and you'll be guided every step of the way if you need it.
Throughout your project, you’ll be supervised by our friendly local staff. They’ll be available 24/7 to support and guide you through the work you do.
If you’re worried about how much you can really gain from an internship when you’re going in with little experience, read our blog about going abroad with no experience.
Winter Break Internships Abroad
If you’re planning on getting overseas work experience during winter to give your CV an extra edge, our projects are a great fit. They run throughout the year and have flexible dates, so you can do winter internships abroad with us any point over June, July, or August.
This is a popular time of year to intern abroad, especially for high school graduates and university students from around the world. We recommend applying early to make sure you get a spot on the placement of your choice. This is especially important if you’re applying for a trip with fixed dates, as those fill up quickly!
We can also organise summer placements if you’re interested in becoming an international intern over December, January, and February.
